Chapter 141 She was heartless first, so she can't blame herself.
Just as Director Zhang was looking at the camera, Yang Mi came over and patted him on the shoulder, saying mysteriously, "Director Zhang, let me show you this."
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang turned his face away from the camera and looked at Yang Mi seriously.
Before he could speak, Yang Mi hurriedly handed him her phone. "Look, this is the author of our drama. He's been exposed by an internet celebrity. They're saying he's dating his sister-in-law and calling him a gigolo. Take a look, you'll see."
Although she hadn't known Xiao Ran in depth, just based on his ability to adapt material, Yang Mi really didn't think he was a gigolo.
This is simply someone trying to smear him; celebrities like him have gotten used to being targeted by such attacks.
In her eyes, this was perfectly normal.
However, this is the first time I've ever heard of such a scandal involving a brother-in-law and sister-in-law; it's really explosive!
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang picked up the phone with some skepticism. After seeing the content of the video, he couldn't help but frown and say, "This is clearly a prank!"
The more famous someone is, the more trouble they attract. This is an age-old truth. They must have seen that Xiao Ran has some popularity and want to leech off him and ride his coattails.
This kind of thing is already commonplace in the entertainment industry.
He thought Xiao Ran was a good person and couldn't be that kind of person!
Liu Min also saw the message and, to her surprise, searched for the keywords. She immediately found four similar videos posted by four different streamers, all at the same time.
The script is currently airing, and if this news were to spread, everyone would know that Xiao Ran is the author of the drama.
If it affects viewership, that's no joke.
Thinking about it, she hurriedly walked to the filming area and said to Director Zhang, "Director Zhang, there's something I'd like to tell you."
Director Zhang frowned. "What is it?"
"It's like this, I just saw four bloggers criticizing Xiao Ran, and I'm worried that this will definitely be detrimental to our drama," Liu Min said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang, sitting on a small chair, looked surprised. "Four?"
He then noticed one; how could there be four?
Yang Mi was also startled by Liu Min's words. She widened her beautiful fox-like eyes slightly and said in surprise, "No way, is someone messing with him?"
One person might just be venting, but with so many people involved, it's definitely not just venting; there must be something else going on behind the scenes!
Director Zhang thought for a moment. If all four internet celebrities were really saying it, then it was probably true, as Yang Mi said, that he had been framed.
He thought about it and decided to call Xiao Ran.
After all, it was his script that he wrote.
If this matter blows up, some viewers will definitely choose not to watch.
This is a loss for him.
You should know that he put in a lot of effort into this film.
There's absolutely no room for the slightest mistake!
Liu Min looked at Director Zhang with a serious expression: "How about I contact Xiao Ran now and ask him who he has offended recently?"
Director Zhang lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and then said, "You should ask him first, and also find out who did it. After all, it's not a big problem, just deal with it directly."
Don't misunderstand.
This wasn't about stepping forward; it was simply that if he was easy to deal with, I might as well give him face.
After all, he is a talented author. If the series is well-received, we can continue to collaborate on the next book.
In this day and age, excellent screenwriters are working for excellent editors. The only shortcut for them to make money is to adapt a good book into a film or television series. Many authors are far more interesting than screenwriters.
For authors like Xiao Ran, it's essential to maintain the relationship between them; maintaining the relationship is tantamount to maintaining the transaction between them.
Upon hearing this, Liu Min nodded, "Okay, Director Zhang, I'll take care of it right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked to a quieter place, took out his phone, and hurriedly called the network department.
"Xiao Wang, I'll send you a few videos in a bit. Can you help me find out which company these bloggers belong to? I'll check now."
This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible.
Within three minutes, the network department had already clarified the matter and sent the information directly to Liu Min's mobile phone.
Liu Min frowned as she read the reply.
A social media influencer from Yunya Company?
This Yunya company, it seems like just a couple of days ago they were trying to get Xiao Zhang, whom they work for, onto iQiyi's newly filmed web series.
I heard the show wasn't very good, so Xiao Zhang never thought about taking it off the air. I still remember that.
If I contact their boss directly, this matter shouldn't be difficult to resolve. It's just a matter of barely getting a show on the platform, and iQiyi does have its share of bad shows anyway.
We can just broadcast another one.
That's why it's a bit of a loss.
She dialed Xiao Ran's number while thinking.
The most urgent thing is to find out who he offended.
The atmosphere in the car was unusually heavy; no one spoke, and there wasn't even any music playing.
Yan Xici and Xiao Ran sat in the back, holding hands.
Just as Zhang Chuan was about to speak, he heard Yan Xici's phone ring, and he closed his mouth again.
